Light on Snow

2006Anita Shreve

1.9/5

I found the book in a quaint, but minuscule secondhand bookshop in the middle of nowhere. Since I've read one of the author's books before, I decided to read this one as well. It was such a delight to find in the first place there. It was one of the very few better choices. And I liked the reading experience.A twelve-year-old girl, Nicky, and her widowed dad, Robert, finds a baby in the snow. The Dillon's secluded life out in the New Hampshire's woods are suddenly not so simple anymore. They saved the baby's life; they were responsible; and brave, but suddenly their lives changed without them being in the driver's seat of their destiny. The follow-up events opens up their hidden feelings which they were unable to share with each other, or the outside world, without them turning the key in the lock of their unspoken private worlds themselves. It is a book for young adults, I would say, and a really gentle,fast, enjoyable read, but with a deep enough base to have me staying riveted to the story from the beginning to end. The book addresses the different forms of honesty, grief, happiness, love and choices. The young girl observes the events and is introduced into the world of serious issues, bigger than herself, very fast. A relaxing and feel-good read. The book is also very well written with all the plots coming together perfectly in the end. I would love to read more of the author's books.
